On January 13th our chapter hosted the Winter Runnerland 5K, 10K and Half Marathon. Moms RUN This Town is having a virtual race during the month of January and our chapter ran it together as a group. We had 45 ladies sign up for the race, which included members from the Greenville, Arlington and Fort Worth Chapters. It was a very casual event, but we did have fun “swag” bags and were fortunate to have the Rockwall Running Center time our event.

Our event was a great success, but it would not have been without the support of all the wonderful ladies that ran this morning. We would also like to thank Coach Barrett and the Rockwall Running Center for providing the chip timing and refreshments and all our wonderful race sponsor who allowed us to have some great giveaways.

On Thursday 12/13 our chapter had a Christmas light fun run in the Woodcreek neighborhood. We all got together in the evening and ran a little under 3 miles in the neighborhood while we looked at Christmas lights. We had a great turnout and had a lot of fun. It was chilli and next year we will probably plan a potluck and have some hot chocolate.

On Sunday November 11, members from Rockwall, Fort Worth and Keller Chapters volunteered a water stop number 9 at the Fort Worth Marathon. We were at the 11 and 15.5 mile mark for the marathon and decorated our area with balloons, signs and even decorated the trail. It was a great experience and we really enjoyed cheering all the runners that came by.

On Saturday many ladies from our chapter ran the CASA Superhero 5k here in Rockwall, TX. We all dressed up in fun costumes and had a great time. Although we were bummed out they ran out of race shirts we thought it was a great race.

On October 6th many of our members participated in a local race called Rib Rub and Run 5 & 10k sponsored by the Rockwall Running Center. The weather was amazing and we all had a great times. A few of our members even place in their age group and got a great medal.

The Rockwall, TX Chapter has been very active this summer. We continued to regularly meet for group runs even though the weather here in Texas has been HOT.

We did not participate in many races during the summer, but are looking forward to start again in the fall season. Starting on September 15th, there will be several local races in Rockwall and surrounding areas and we are excited to participate in these events.
